Harry apparated outside the Minstery. He took a deep breath and walked inside. He noticed as soon as he was inside that today was a very busy day. People were running about and yelling at each other just to ear what was said.

Harry started walking and didn't get far when someone accidentally bumped into him. The guy started, "Uh, I'm so sorry. I wasn't-" He stopped when he realized who it was. "Mr. Potter I, uh, I'm so sorry. I'll be more careful next time. Please forgive me."

Harry smiled, "It's okay." Harry looked around him and everyone was still and looking at him with fear in his eyes. "Well, it was seeing everyone." Harry started walking away but thought of something funny, so he stopped. "Just you all know, I'm not going to blow you up for bumping into me. No if you piss me off then I suggest you all run."

Harry walked up to the Minster's office but decided that he'd be polite about this.

"I liked to see the Minster, please," Harry said to the girl at the desk.

The lady looked up and her got wide eyes and Harry could see the fear, "I'm sorry Mr. Potter but he's in a meeting right now."

"Thanks. I will let myself in," Harry smiled and walked through the door.

When Harry walked in, almost braking the door down in the attempt, he first noticed a large number of people around the Minster's desk but clearly heard him, "I'm in a meeting. Please leave."

Harry sighed, "I'm thinking of staying here actually, thanks." Harry then flopped on a couch and played with his wand.

He watched most of the wizards freeze and Scrimgeour step out from them, "Harry, my boy. I didn't know it was you. I'll be right with you." He turned to the others. "We shall continue this later."

"Minster, this is more important than a mere teenage boy," One said as he got a look from Harry, who smiled.

"Mr. Potter would like a word, gentlemen, please excuse us," Scrimgeour said more afraid than calm.

The group left mumbling something but they all eyes Harry who just smiled and waved, "Good bye!"

Scrimgeour sat across from leaning back a little, "What can I do for you Mr. Potter?"

Harry had a very neutral voice, "Sirius."

"I'm sorry-" He began but stopped when Harry shock his head, smiled, and put his hand up.

"That's not why I'm here," Harry said as he became a little too serious. "Did you know that Sirius is innocent?"

Scrimgeour looked away, "Yes, Mr. Potter. He is in fact not guilty."

Harry leaned forward, "Then why isn't he free? Everyone still thinks he betrayed my parents. Rufus," Scrimgeour looked up at Harry, " Who did betrayed my parents?"

"Peter Pettigrew," Scrimgeour said, quietly. "Harry-" Harry's head shot up and he looked Scrimgeour in the eyes, who moved in his seat to try to get further away, "Mr. Potter, after Sirius died, I didn't think-"

"I still don't like you," Harry said and he cracked a smile. "Never will either."

"I'm aware of that Mr. Potter," Scrimgeour said, uneasy. " I wish to change that."

"I would love to know what the public and that reporters would do if I walked smiling," Harry said playing with his wand. "Or if I walked blowing everything that stood in my way."

"Well they would be all over the place. Asking questions and getting pictures. It would be a mad house," Scrimgeour said imagining the scene in his head.

"Look, I hate to do this to you but I feel as though this is my only option," Harry sighed. "I would really appreciate it if you made Sirius' story the front page of every newspaper. I think that everyone should know what Peter Pettigrew did that night fifteen years ago. " Harry's tone went back to being neutral again, "Do that and I will be nice to you."

"It isn't as easy as you think Mr. Potter," Scrimgeour started half scared.

"Me and you, front page . Your biggest concern on your side," Harry almost smiled.

Scrimgeour went quiet.

Harry smiled. He knew it was working, "And if you don't listen to me, then the worst is about to happen. 'The 'Prophecy Boy' destroys Dark Lord but goes after the Minster', I can see the headline now."

"I can see what I can do Mr. Potter," Scrimgeour said white as a ghost.

"That's not good enough," Harry slammed his fist on the table and stood up. "I've nice to you so far, Minster! I swear no one will know what happened to your body! If I get that paper tomorrow and Sirius isn't on the front cover, I will come back. Trust me!"

Scrimgeour looked like he'd seen a ghost, "Yes, sir. I promise Sirius Black will be cleared on the front page tomorrow."

Harry didn't sit down but noticed his wand was clenched in his fist, "Thank you. And this conversation never happened."

Scrimgeour just nodded his head.

Harry half smiled, "Good boy. And I'll be back. Just a matter of time. Good day, Minster."

Harry walked out showing no emotion at all until he apparated back to the woods and began to walk home to Sirius and Lupin with a smile on his face.

"What could possibly be taking Harry so long?" Lupin asked.

Sirius and Lupin were stationed outside of Godrics Hollow, sitting on the front porch. Lupin was on the stairs and Sirius was sitting in the swinging bench.

"I'm about to go to bed. I'm beat," Sirius said through a yawn. "I got up at like five thirty this morning, Moony."

"Wow! Sirius up before the sun that's amazing," Lupin smiled. "Wait! What were you doing at five thirty this morning?"

Sirius tried to hold back a laugh, "Pranking you!"

Lupin eyed him and then turned forward but in a split second you could find Sirius on the ground face first. Sirius looked up and saw Lupin's wand pointing over at the bench, "Thanks Moony!"

Lupin shrugged his shoulders as Sirius repaired the swing and took his place again. All was silent.

"Sirius do you hear that?" Lupin asked standing up.

Sirius was already standing up with his wand out, "That sounded liked Harry!"

"Sirius!" A faint yell could be heard. "Uncle Padfoot!"

"That is Harry!" Sirius jumped over the railing and started to run at the woods following the sounds of Harry's voice.

"Uncle Padfoot! Help! Its attacking me! Help"

Sirius couldn't take it anymore. He had to find Harry now, so he changed into the black dog and left Lupin in the dust running towards the sounds of his godson's voice, that was getting fainter and fainter and he got closer and closer.

There was one last scream in pain, that made Sirius stop and change back. All Sirius could hear now was the sound of Lupin's steps get closer and closer. Lupin took a place next to Sirius, eyes wide with fright and fear. All was silent.

"Where is he, Moony?" Sirius asked. "Moony, where the bloody hell is my godson?"

Lupin looked around him but all he could see where the houses of Godrics Hollow, "I don't know, Sirius."

Sirius ran towards the entrance of Godrics Hollow but still no Harry, "Moony, what do I do?"

Sirius turned to Lupin who stood wide eyed at the sky, "Padfoot, I have to go." With that Lupin turned on the spot and left Sirius.

The full moon was now just beginning to show through the clouds. Sirius fell to the ground, his knees shacking. What if he got attacked by Death Eaters? What if a werewolf got to him? I can't lose him like I lost James. He's all I have left. I have to find him!

He walked back to the house, slowly, thinking of what possibly could have happened. He didn't even see it, till he leaned up against the tree for support. Blood. Blood was everywhere, all around him, against the trees, everywhere Sirius looked. He covered his mouth and fell to the floor, crying. "Harry!" Sirius cried out. "Prongslet, where are you?"

"Sirius?"

Sirius looked up to only to find Lupin there.

"What? I thought the full moon was out?" Sirius asked.

"It's a trick, Padfoot. The full moon isn't until next weekend. He's playing with you," Lupin sat down beside Sirius, his eyes tracing the blood. "It's all a big trick."

Sirius looked up ay his friend, "A trick? He's just playing with me? He's so dead when I get my hands on him."

"Or maybe not."

Sirius heard the crack in his friend's voice and looked to see where Lupin was staring. Circling them was one wolf. One white and grey with black wolf, foaming at the mouth. Sirius just sat watching it. Even when it started running at them, Sirius sat there, ignoring Lupin's threats.

"Move Padfoot," Lupin yelled. "Padfoot get up and move. It's going to attack you."

Lupin closed his eyes as the wolf pounced at Sirius but to Lupin's surprise no impact or no sound of impact was heard. Lupin opened his eyes to see Harry sitting next to Sirius his face in his knees, "I'm sorry, Padfoot."

"That was nowhere near funny, Harry," Sirius quietly said. "Do you know how worried I was?"

Harry looked up but didn't meet Sirius's eyes, "I just wanted to scare you. I wanted you to think that you were in danger not the other way around. I went to far. I'm sorry."

Sirius stood up and faced Harry, "I thought I had lost you! I thought you died. I thought that I was never going to see you again. Harry, I can't lose you like I lost your father and your mother!"

"I'm sorry," Harry said a little more quieter than expected.

"I'm glad you're okay, though," Sirius said looking down at Harry. "Harry, look I lost your father and your mother, and I'm not going to lose you."

Harry was at lost for words. He stood up and Sirius brought him into a hug, "Never. And I mean never do that again, Harry. Do you understand me?"

"Yes," Harry replied.

"Now, where were you today?" Lupin asked.

Harry shrugged his shoulders, "I had to take care of something. That's all."

Sirius stood in the middle of Harry and Lupin with his mouth opened and pointing at Harry, "He just changed his form. He's an animagus and all you say is 'Where were you Harry?'"

"Don't be to surprised that he is," Lupin said. "We are talking about Mr. Harry James Potter. He learned a Patronus charm at age thirteen. I'm not all to surprised."

Sirius shook his head in disappointment, "You people disgust me." He turned and headed back inside the house.

Harry and Lupin found Sirius sitting on the stairs, "Moony, I suggest you go and get your team together. We have a prank war after lunch."

Lupin smiled and walked back out of the house where he disaparated to the Burrow.

"Well, Prongslet, I'm going to bed. I'll see you in the morning," Sirius smiled and headed up the stairs.

"Sirius, really, I'm sorry," Harry said.

"It's fine, Prongslet. You wanted to have some fun. I can't get mad at you, when I did it to Prongs so many times."

Harry smiled and headed up to bed himself.
